Best Movie Star

Chapter 939: Finally wait for this day

After the previous films have achieved good results, the entire Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios can be described as confident. Perhaps it is more appropriate to use 'no one series of films is as ambitious as Marvel'. Use Easter eggs to remind the audience in each movie that these superheroes live in the same universe, how vast and wonderful the picture of this universe will be?

Something called the Marvel Law is indeed taking shape.

And so, The Avengers came.

The film cost $220 million to make and $180 million for global distribution.

In every way, this is a mega-production.

Matthew signed a related agreement with Marvel Comics six years ago, and in 2009, when Walt Disney acquired Marvel, he signed a supplemental agreement with Disney.

In this "Avengers", Studio Thirteen's investment accounted for 40%.

Correspondingly, he also owns 40% of the revenue share of the film, excluding individual items such as related comics.

This is another huge gold mine.

So, as long as Disney and Marvel Studios need it, Matthew will contribute to the promotion of "Avengers".

Judging from various market estimates, "The Avengers" is a must-have movie!

And in late April, Matthew participated in an internal preview of Marvel Studios. The film directed by Joss Whedon also evoked some vague memories in him. The difference between the two is not special. Great, the main plot of the film should be the same.

The big villains are all Loki, the first of the dishes.

It's not so much that he came to earth to destroy, but to make a joke.

After this film, Marvel has a series of plans, and even plans are ten years later.

Regardless, Matthew's deal with Walt Disney keeps the studio's investments in the Marvel Universe focused on the Iron Man franchise, the Captain America franchise and the Avengers sequel.

That's enough to warrant his continued profit from Marvel superheroes.

And his own value is also attracting Disney to cooperate with him for a long time.

"The Avengers" will bring the era of movies that truly belong to superheroes.

Driven by producers such as Matthew and Disney, as well as various technical and commercial interests, superhero movies have become the perfect digital technology model, and different styles of screen spectacles are staged in turn, as if taking the audience on a roller coaster, from One flies to the other.

Will audiences get bored with superheroes? The answer is yes. Like they were sick of cowboys, cabaret stars, robots and aliens.

As a contemporary myth, as long as there are interests, the stories of superheroes will definitely continue to be told until the whole society and culture are transformed. Matthew is very clear that it is commercial interests that shape superheroes, and it is the society that needs to give them godhood.

Whether Superman or Batman, Iron Man, and Spider-Man are actually just projections of the real world in another parallel universe.

For Matthew, when reality shines into the world of superheroes, it will bring him countless amounts of money.

It looks like he still lacks a private jet, and perhaps the profits from The Avengers will allow him to buy a very good private business jet.

When the revenue share of "The Avengers" arrives, go and book one.

Then hire a super-beautiful flight attendant, and travel will not be boring and lonely.

Just entering May, Marvel Studios and Walt Disney held a huge world premiere for "The Avengers" in New York, the main theater of the film.

As one of the main investors, Matthew will of course attend the premiere.

At the premiere, the Avengers also achieved off-screen assembly.

"Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr., "Thor" Chris Hemsworth, "Hulk" Mark Ruffalger, "Hawkeye" Jeremy Renner, "Black Widow." Carrie Johansson, "Rocky" Tom Hiddleston, "S.H.I.E.L.D. Director" Samuel Jackson, director Joss Whedon and Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige appeared successively.

In addition, many other stars came to join in.

The scene was full of stars, fans screamed deafeningly, and the atmosphere was warm and hot.

Just as Matthew chose to invest in "Iron Man", Robert Downey Jr., who played a real version of the prodigal son, was the most popular.

When he drove the Iron Man's car in the film, an Acura sports car drove directly onto the red carpet, which caused the madness of reporters and fans, and also made Honda, which was fully responsible for the expenses of the premiere, burst into laughter.

In this film, there are more crazy placement advertisements than the live fans.

"The Avengers" has as many as 27 manufacturers, paying a total of $88.7 million in advertising sponsorship fees for the film, setting a new record for Hollywood film advertising placement revenue.

This part also belongs to the income of the film, and it is also within the scope of Matthew's sharing.

The movie hasn't even been released yet, and Matthew and Walt Disney have already recouped some of their investment.

It is originally a commercial investment, and the more money you earn, the better.

This film is arguably the most anticipated and watched film of the year. More than 500 journalists from all over the world gathered at the Lincoln Center for the Arts.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if it has not been released, it has robbed all the limelight of the summer season.

The global pre-sale of the film kicked off a month ago, and even the movie theaters and ticketing websites were caught off guard. The pre-sale amount for the first three days in North America was initially estimated to be as high as more than 120 million US dollars. Ninety-five percent of Hollywood movies are out of reach.

And that's just a pre-sale in one region of North America.

In addition to Disney, theatrical dealers also attach great importance to this film.

AMC Cinemas, one of the largest theater chains in North America, launched the "Ultimate Marvel Marathon" event in several of its large theaters, that is, from the morning of the release day, the five Marvel superhero movies that had paved the way for the film were continuously screened, and then Premiere tonight.

Although the ticket price of this event is as high as 40 US dollars, the pre-sale movie tickets have already been sold out by movie fans, and the AMC theater line has to urgently add the venue. ,

The film is also highly anticipated overseas. In the market of the English-speaking Friendship District, the zero-point movie tickets are sold out early, and the 3D and imax versions of the first three days are hard to find. In order to see the film as soon as possible, many fans simply carry sleeping bags all night. The queues attracted media from these areas to go to interviews and reports.

It's been a long wait, from the release of "Iron Man" in 2008 to the four-year wait.

For Marvel fans, it can be described as "finally waiting for this day".

The same is true for Matthew. If a huge amount of money goes down, if there is no pressure and risk, it must be false. Although it is known that the failure of "Avengers" may be very small, the long return time is also a cost.

Isn't time a cost?

He doesn't want to take seven or eight years or more to get his investment back, like some movies.

Maybe buying a reliable financial product will be more profitable than this situation.

Since it is the premiere of the Avengers gathering, Matthew inevitably meets Scarlett Johansson again.

"I saw an internal preview of Marvel Studios."

In the face of Scarlett Johansson dressed up, Matthew made no secret, "You are so beautiful and very spicy."

Scarlett Johansson looked at Matthew and smiled, "Really?"

Matthew nodded extremely seriously, "Of course!" He lowered his voice and said, "You created such an excellent character, don't you celebrate? I have a good bottle of wine, let's celebrate together after the premiere?"

Scarlett Johansson thought about the schedule after the premiere and tomorrow, and said, "The movie is over, and there is a press conference. You have to wait for me for a while."

"No problem." Matthew's patience was still there. "I'm riding in a black Mercedes-Benz tonight, and I'll be waiting for you at the east gate."

Scarlett Johansson, regardless of the gossip and curious glances around her, leaned into Matthew's ear and reminded, "I have an announcement tomorrow morning, don't bother me too much."

Matthew patted her arm lightly, "Don't worry, I'll take you there then."

After making an appointment with Scarlett Johansson, he said hello to the other main creative staff of the crew, not to mention anything else, as the film's second largest investor, he also hung up a producer's name in "Avengers". title.

When he saw Maria Hill, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Matthew suddenly had the urge to hook up this actress and bring it back with Scarlett Johansson tonight...

This thought flashed through my mind unconsciously.

Matthew immediately sobered up, not everyone was like Jennifer Lawrence and Amber Heard.

Although he realized this, the thought did not disappear. Instead, it was like some kind of magic spell, constantly circling in his heart.

Was it crazy, toxic or psychopathic playing with Jennifer Lawrence and Amber Heard?

Matthew hurriedly walked to the screening room and thought about it carefully~lightnovelpub.net~ It seems that it has nothing to do with multiplayer games, but...

Frowning his brows, it is not difficult for him to find that with the passage of time and the improvement of his status, as long as he encounters a good-looking young woman, can his first thought always be hooked?

That's right, think about the good-looking women he met in the past two years. Even a woman like Gal Gadot who is not interested in him, he still tries to hook up again and again.

In the past few years, as long as the other party expressed no interest, he would never do it.

People are always changing, especially after the money and power in their hands increase, it is too difficult for men to remain the same.

Matthew sat in the chair and continued to think about the problem. It is normal for a man to have a similar situation, but his self-control seems to be getting worse.

Could this be a fabled symptom of sexual addiction?

Maybe it's time to find a psychiatrist in this area for a good consultation?

Thinking of this, Matthew shook his head again, and let's talk about his own situation after a while.
